Abstract

Using smart-phones to access site-specific mobile services can offer users enhanced functionality (for example, personalization and increased access to mobile content) while reducing service deployment and maintenance costs. The authors present the Mobile Service Toolkit (MST), a client-server framework supporting the development of mobile services that interact with usersý smart-phones. As case studies, they present two prototype services implemented on top of the MST: a virtual queuing service and a vacation browsing service.
